What is Aria AI?

Aria - is a browser-based AI that is based on the Opera AI engine and uses several large language models, including Generative Pre-trained Transformer created by OpenAI. It uses an artificial intelligence model to understand a user's question, process it, and answer it in natural language. Aria helps users by providing information, processing textual content, and generating ideas.

What is artificial intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a set of technologies that enable computers and machines to perform complex human-like processes such as analyzing, learning, problem solving, and decision making.

AI systems can be designed to perform a variety of tasks, such as understanding and generating text, images and video, speech recognition, driving cars, games, and many others.

What is an artificial intelligence language model?

An artificial intelligence language model is a technology that is designed to process natural language and provide answers to questions. Large language models are trained on publicly available sources such as articles, books, and websites to understand and mimic human language. When the AI receives input or a prompt, it uses the knowledge gained to formulate an answer that is as close to natural language as possible.

Answer Accuracy

What are the main limitations of Aria?

Since this area of technology is still in its developmental stage, all artificial intelligence applications have limitations. In particular:

  • Aria can generate biased or harmful content because the AI training data and algorithms can be biased.
  • Aria can generate false, misleading, and inaccurate information because it has no fact-checking capability.
  • Aria has no access to your browser data other than what you send through the input box.

Can I trust the information provided by Aria?

It is important to note that while Aria strives to be as accurate as possible, it still has limitations, such as social biases and hallucinations.

When using Aria, please keep in mind that it is not a fact-checking tool. The answers provided are based on existing publicly available sources, which may be false or biased. Therefore, it is recommended that you cross-check the information provided by Aria with other sources before using or quoting it.

What is the source of knowledge for Aria?

The information provided by Aria is based on data currently available on the Internet, as well as a large number of publicly available sources on which the artificial intelligence model was trained.

Why did Aria give me an answer that is irrelevant to my question?

AI answers are not always accurate or reliable. Artificial Intelligence can sometimes hallucinate and generate unsubstantiated answers.

What can I do to get more accurate answers?

Here are some tips to help you get better results when using AI language models:

  • Be Specific: To increase the likelihood of receiving relevant and useful answers, it is important to give detailed questions or prompts. Avoid using vague or open-ended questions that can lead to ambiguous or irrelevant answers.
  • Use correct grammar and spelling: Aria is more likely to give accurate answers if you use correct grammar. Avoid using slang, abbreviations, or regional language.
  • Provide context: Providing context for your questions or prompts can help the AI better understand what you are asking and generate more accurate answers. If you are asking for advice on a specific topic, provide some background information about the situation.
  • Correct errors: If Aria generates an answer that contains errors or inaccuracies, you can correct it by providing feedback. This will help the model improve the response provided.
  • Experiment with different prompts: If you don't get the results you want, try rephrasing your questions. Sometimes small changes can make a big difference in the quality of the answers you get.

What is an AI hallucination?

Aria may give inaccurate results to your input. In some cases it may hallucinate.

AI hallucination is a phenomenon in which artificial intelligence generates unintentionally imaginative and creative outputs that are at odds with input or training data. An AI model, such as a language model, generates responses that may be inaccurate or not in line with reality, contrary to what the user asked for. This anomaly may result from limitations or biases present in the training data, or from the complexity of the AI technology itself.
